He's just mad that his agent and the promoters on his latest tours pushed him into bigger rooms, and ticket sales across the board are down and now he's in the red.

These dudes aspire to be selling out 2500-3000 cap clubs, but in reality can barely sell 1000 tickets in any city. Be humble!

Make more accessible music.

I’ve been saying this from day one. These guys(Griselda) pigeonhole themselves into a niche market, yet don’t understand why they collectively sell less than 50k albums and merchandise to the same 100 fans. I don’t see how this is going to work with any major label deals.

How can you expect different results using the same recipe? Imagine the target audience they would reach if they could get someone like Nikki or Cardi or even Meg on a remix? however they limit themselves because they only have limited subject matter in their music.

Talented guys but it’s such a shame that they are wasting their potential to appease “the stress”




However I always said that they would do very well if they toured overseas, maybe they should stick to Asian and European countries (not UK) where the fans heavily support all kinds of hip hop.

Does the current tour have any affiliation to his new def jam deal? If so then I can see the problem.

The show tomorrow that was canceled in Manchester has a capacity of 1500. His show next week in Amsterdam has a capacity of 90-130. There is no shame in being in a smaller venue. If anything the intimate setting is a great way to connect with fans
